Jefferson's Response to Islam Militant

This Hitchens' piece reminds of an article in the WSJ that made a relationship between the American invasion of Afghanistan, and Jefferson's response to Islam Militant. In short, the Vietnam analogy sucks. It smacks of the self-centered nature of 1960s and '70s reporters (ohhhHHHhh, if I lived through it, it was the most profound event in human history!). This is a case of everyone wanting to relate anything that ever happened in the history of humanity back to themselves. Halberstam should provide footnotes more often in his otherwise armchair histories. On that note, here's a little more of MFT's Armchair Pyschoanalysis once again (no charge).
